I never looked at "LS Ecclesiastes" before.
:rollingeyes2:
I would humbly suggest that it would be at least as important to study Eccl. 10:1 as the leprosy in the wall in Leviticus:
"Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off an evil odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor."
But perhaps not.
Does anyone among us here need an interpretation of this verse?

Dear brother YP0534,
I am very glad that you checked out what I said for yourself. Yes, my description of "brief" is probably too generous. Whole chapters of Ecclesiastes are sometimes covered in one page of the Life Study. A lot of the speaking in the Life Study is simply a restating of the points on the outline. Ultimately, however, what is the most serious is that many verses of Ecclesiastes, with all their rich detail, were never covered at all.
This is also the case with the
Life Study of Esther. There are only two messages to cover an OT History book containing ten chapters. The second message is almost entirely a plain retelling of the story in the book of Esther, with no interpretation. So much rich detail, so much typology, was never touched. Anyone desirous of being blessed by the richness of the divine revelation in Esther will have to look elsewhere. I can think of no richer interpretation of Esther than brother Ian Thomas' book
If I Perish, I Perish.
